php Nuke

Hi, im doing the website for my clan, I need to know how hard phpNuke is to install.

Is it the standard MySQL and php database and password setup, or does it require you to have phpmyadmin and other software and do lots of tweaking.

Ive heard its bog standard, but last year when I tried to install it I had problems and I felt like I wasnt doing something I should have.

Just your basic PHP/MySQL CMS installation. e107 is far better and more flexible in my opinion

MKPortal is more user friendly than phpnuke in my experience.

Ive tried them both in my spare time, I like them both, Joomla is also a good one to use also. But phpNuke looks good for clans, so im giving it ago.

Uploading it now

hope it works.

--- EDIT

What does this mean, I thought I just had to know the database passwords and usernames and that.

1) Create a database called, for example, nuke:

Now fill the databases with the tables in nuke.sql file:

mysql nuke < nuke.sql

Seems theres a little more to the install than i thought. This includes the use of phpMyAdmin. But don't worry! It's a doddle..

go to your cPanel > MySQL® Databases > Here you want to create a new database - just call it 'nuke' or whatever.

Now you want to continue to the bottom and open phpMyAdmin. On the left hand side, choose your 'nuke' database from the drop down box, let the database structure load. Then up top, click "Import". Browse for your 'nuke.sql' file and upload it, it will run the SQL queries etc automatically.

Now you have filled your database with the default phpnuke settings. Now simple as going onto your site and editing away

I cant bileave this! I dont think my host offers phpMyAdmin!!! Im using cPannel atm.

Barrington · 9 Feb 2007 at 19:25

Surely they provide phpMyAdmin :eek:

Do you see the MySQL® Databases area on your main cPanel page?

wizard91 · 9 Feb 2007 at 19:27

yeah I see that bit.

Okay, click on that and scroll right down to the bottom. Look for the words centered on screen in a bluey colour saying "phpMyAdmin". It should open up in a new window.

Nope its just not there, I dont know why, but I checked and my host claims to host phpmyadmin, but its really nowhere to be found.

Send them a support ticket - give them a little hassle that you can't access phpMyAdmin and how you've payed money for a service they're meant to provide

Ok then, I am just going to do that now
